Clean Your Wedding Rings at Home

I have been saying that I need to take my rings in to get cleaned for about two years.  I used to use jewelry cleaner, but then that got gross so I tossed it.  After that I didn’t really do anything and my rings have gotten pretty grimy.

I decided that I should try to clean it at home since I might never actually take it in to get cleaned!

I wish you could see the gunk stuck in and around my diamond before I cleaned them.  The pictures do not quite grasp the disgustingness.

I mixed 3 parts hot water to one part dishwasher detergent {you don’t need very much} and gave it a good swirl.  Then I dropped in my rings and let them sit in there for at least an hour.  You can do it longer, I was just really impatient.  You can leave it in there overnight.

I took them out and used a soft bristled toothbrush to scrub them a bit, but I could tell as soon as I took them out they already looked a bazillion times better!  I scrubbed away a little bit more and then rinsed them off and let them dry. 
I can’t believe it actually worked!  I seriously thought I needed professional help to get these suckers clean!


In some of the pictures it’s hard to see the difference so I hope you can tell.  It’s totally worth the minimal effort that it takes to clean your rings this way!

Ta-Da!! I hope you’ll try it!  Let me know if you do!
